My daughter who is a high school senior attended the IFI summer program and she was thrilled to tell me so many positive things about her experience. She said there were young filmmakers at different levels of experience, and everyone was supported in a collaborative environment that encouraged...
It is not film school anymore. Jon Wardle turned it into woke temple. Tuition fees are enormous. Especially for very poor quality of workshops, lectures, tutors. I did MA course, hoping to be at least "in the club" but I was so wrong. The school cares only about the money. Nothing more. After...
Here's some things I wish I'd known before signing up for this program. To be clear, these specifically apply to the MFA Writing for Screen and Television program.
1. The school does not care about you.
I cannot emphasize this enough. They do not care if you're having a personal crisis, if your...
The best thing I can say is that for the filmmaking master's program I have truly learned. I am so grateful and gracious for the level of knowledge that has been provided here, however there are a few classes later on that feel like fillers, just to justify the cost.
The schedule, especially in...
I absolutely loved my time at UC Berkeley and I would not have traded doing my undergrad there even for a top spot at UCLA for a BFA in Film Production, which for many years was my dream. I ended up appreciating Cal's film department being small, being everchanging and growing, and for offering...
Undergraduate/graduate film school located in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's a state school, so tuition is very affordable. If you are not a resident, you would pay out of state tuition for your first year, then the remaining three years you can pay instate rates as long as you get a Nevada ID or DL License as soon as you arrive. (need to maintain residency for one year before instate rates kick in). Public transportation runs almost 24/7.
The school doesn't have actual concentrations, but the...

As one of the oldest film institutions in America, UCLA Extension is an excellent option for California-based filmmakers looking for a blend of prestige and affordability. The university boasts a breadth of film certificate programs that can be pursued full-time for nine months to one year or spread out over the course of 3 years. Although the university has faced setbacks in the past few years, it remains an undisputed heavy hitter in the cohort of famous California film schools and...
